You are given the probability that an event will not happen. Find the probability that the event will happen.

1. P (E') = 0.14

2. P (E') = 0.92

3. P (E') = 17/35

4. P (E') = 61/100

1) P (E) = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

2) P (E) = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08

3) P (E) = 1 - 17/35 = 18/35

4) P (E) = 1 - 61/100 = 39/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that an event will happen equals one minus the probability that an event will not happen.

P (E) = 1 - P (E') ... 1

Where;

P (E) is the probability that an event will happen.

P (E') is the probability that an event will not happen.

1. P (E') = 0.14

Applying equation 1

P (E) = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

2. P (E') = 0.92

P (E) = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08

3. P (E') = 17/35

P (E) = 1 - 17/35 = 18/35

4. P (E') = 61/100

P (E) = 1 - 61/100 = 39/100
